Hello,
Is it possible to automatically refresh data from tables ?
Thank you
Emma
Solved! Go to Solution.
I would like my PowerBi to update automatically as soon as a piece of data is added to my sharepoint list
DANGER DANGER DANGER.
I strongly recommend you create a de-bouncer process in Power Automate to prevent refresh requests from bombarding the Power BI service. That process needs to probe if a refresh is currently in progress, and needs to delay any new request for a reasonable amount of time.
If you want to have a Direct Query connection to SharePoint please consider voting for an existing idea or raising a new one at https://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/?forum=2d80fd4a-16cb-4189-896b-e0dac5e08b41
Please provide a more detailed explanation of what you are aiming to achieve. What have you tried and where are you stuck?
